25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 8
Adaptation 8 is a fun twist on the classic, an episode of The Real Ghostbusters called “Xmas Marks the Spot”. The Ghostbusters end up in Victorian England where, under a complete misunderstanding, they bust the three Ghosts of Christmas. In typical time travel fashion, their actions in the past greatly effect the present. Free of […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 7
Finally, after a week of searching I’ve found the earliest surviving movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol, titled Scrooge; or Marley’s Ghost, directed by R.W. Paul. This version is so elusive that the only known print is held by the British Film Institute, and it’s incomplete to boot. Though absolutely silent, this over 100 year […]
Dead Space 2 Confirmed
I’m sure by now we all remember when this image fell into our laps via Twitter. The below scribbles are translated as “THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER BUT IT WILL NOT END!” causing many to speculate that Dead Space 2 was coming. Well speculate no more, as Visceral Games has announced that the sequel to last […]

Burton to Direct Dark Shadows Feature
Though the idea of a Dark Shadows feature film has been on the table for some time now, producer Graham King has confirmed that Tim Burton will begin shooting in early fall 2010, with Johnny Depp slated to play lead vampire Barnabas Collins. For those not familiar with the series, Dark Shadows is a gothic […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 6
Day 6 brings the first ever animated Christmas special produced for television, Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol. This adaptation is done in the style of a Broadway musical, with vision impaired Mister Magoo playing the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Even with such a nasty role, Magoo still has the undeniable charm to his performance. Though faithful […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 5
After four tolerable versions of A Christmas Carol in a row, adaptation number 5, Rich Little’s Christmas Carol, comes and smacks me square in the face. This was a 1978 TV special for a still young Home Box Office (HBO) starring impressionist Rich Little performing all the important roles as different cultural figures. However, around […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 4
Day 4 brings us to our first television episode adaptation of A Christmas Carol, A Beavis and Butt-head Christmas (also known as Huh Huh Humbug). This is by far the loosest translation of the story I’ve seen yet. The adaptation begins in a dream, with Beavis the manager of Burgerworld and the high school prince, […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 3
Day 3 brings one of the oldest recorded film adaptations of A Christmas Carol a 1910 silent film version produced by Edison Studios. Perhaps I spoke too soon about the accelerated pace of yesterday’s Mickey version as this one doesn’t even bother to give real scene transitions and clocks in at just under 11 minutes. […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 2
Day 2 brings a Disney short film adaptation of A Christmas Carol, titled Mickey’s Christmas Carol. This 24 minute version moves at a breakneck pace, the intro credits being longer than most of the scenes. They really blasted open the vault for this one, as they bring in as many old Disney characters as they […]
25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 1
This holiday season, dear readers, I’ve decided to treat you with something special: my own potential breakdown. Perturbed with commercial overload of all things Christmas, I’ve taken drastic measures. For twenty five days, including Christmas day itself, I will watch a different adaptation of A Christmas Carol and post my impressions. Any version I can […]
Rock Band Song Library Now at 1,000
Harmonix announced today that the Rock Band franchise library has now reached an insane 1,000 songs, a cumulative total of disc and downloadable content. For a series to expand its library this quickly in just over 2 years of its debut is astonishing, regardless of your own personal feelings towards the series. You can view […]
Stephen King May Pen a Sequel to The Shining
Stephen King on a Toronto preview reading of his newest novel, Under the Dome, announced to a surprised audience that he is considering a sequel to his 1977 story of psychics and psychopaths, The Shining. Currently titled Doctor Sleep, the sequel will take place with traumatized Danny Torrance at age 40 working at a house […]
Water Found on Moon!
Yes, I’m aware this news isn’t really “media related”, but its damn exciting. NASA announced that incoming data from the LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite) that a recent mission successfully uncovered water near the south pole of the moon. This may not seem like much now, but its a stepping stone to finding […]
Modern Warfare 2 Sells 1.2 Million Units in UK
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has already pulled out record numbers in the United Kingdom, where first day sales of over 1.2 million units (and roughly £47 million made) absolutely crushed previous leader, Grand Theft Auto IV, which sold 631,000 units. In other news, 1.2 Million UK citizens had too much money in their […]
